Indrapramit Das

Indra Das (aka Indrapramit Das) is a writer from Kolkata, India. His fiction has appeared in publications including Clarkesworld, Asimov's, and Strange Horizons, and has been widely anthologized in collections such as The Year's Best Science Fiction. Das is an Octavia E. Butler scholar and a grateful graduate of the 2012 Clarion West Writers Workshop, where he wrote under the tutelage of Kelly Link, George R.R. Martin and Chuck Palahniuk, among others. He completed his M.F.A. at the University of British Columbia (class of '11) in Vancouver, where he wore many hats, including dog hotel night shift attendant, TV background performer, freelance editor, writing mentor, tutor, minor film critic, occasional illustrator, environmental news writer, pretend-patient for med school students, and video game tester. He never wore any actual hats, except a toque during winter. He now divides his time between India and North America, immigration-willing. Das has written about books, comics, TV and film for publications including Slant Magazine, VOGUE India, Strange Horizons and Vancouver Weekly.
